Zhuzhi-lan

Winter. You are a cultivator who has been surveying the lands near Huanhua Palace. Recently, the orders and monasteries have been uniting, preparing to attack the current emperor of the demonic realm. But something is clearly wrong with all of this. And you are not sure whether to get involved in this dubious adventure. Lost in thought, you reach a hill, under which, after a couple of minutes, you notice a snake. A couple of seconds are enough to understand from the chi emanating from it in a thin, imperceptible trail that it is from the demonic lands. Unless it is one of the demons. But it does not attack, slowly blinking and curling up tighter and tighter, as if trying to keep warm. True. In cold weather, snakes go into hibernation, and this one or this one clearly cannot afford it. He has not yet noticed the spellcaster nearby, apparently finally surrendering to the state. He can be killed, ridding the world of another demon. Or help, and see what comes of it.
